Analysis of Embers

Creature of habit
Prone to self sabotage
I think I'm OK
Mesmerized by this mirage
What's it going to take?
Always cutting my own throat
Blew it all again
It's all going up in smoke

Trying to extinguish the flames I've fed
Like a candle burning from both ends
Out of the ashes the embers ascend
Burning me to the wick again

I'm the best of my worst enemies
The championship belongs to me
I always want to be alone
But I can't do this on my own
I can't remember making the scratch
But I'm always the one holding the match

Trying to extinguish the flames I've fed
Like a candle burning from both ends
Out of the ashes the embers ascend
Burning me to the wick again
